Save our green belt
The Government has doubled the housebuilding target for Stockport, weakened the protections on a third of our precious green belt, and is forcing the Council through Ministerial Directives and threats to adopt a Local Plan which will let developers target green belt first.
We oppose this government’s ‘developers charter’ and need your voice. Do you agree with us that the green spaces that make our area special need to be preserved, and new housing should first be built on brownfield sites, after the infrastructure is provided with schools, improved transport, and GP places guaranteed? Help us send a message to Government and make Labour listen to local people.
Find our more about the local plan on our frequently asked questions page.

Parliamentary Hopeful warns against Closure of One-Stop Shops
Congleton's would-be Liberal Democrat MP Dr Peter Hirst has condemned Cheshire East Council's proposals to close the Council's One-Stop Shops - which provide vital personal advice and information to local residents in Alsager, Holmes Chapel, Knutsford, Middlewich, Poynton and Wilmslow. The Tory-run Council wants residents to seek the advice and information they need from local libraries instead. Dr Hirst warns that a recession is not a good time for such "rationalisation," which would disproportionately hit vulnerable people.
